Work Authorization Applications for Asylum Seekers [5-10 hours per matter]

Seeking pro bono attorneys to help asylum seekers in the United States fill out an Application for Employment Authorization, prepare supporting documents, and file with USCIS. We estimate each matter will require approximately 5 - 10 hours of attorney time. Attorneys will be required to file a G-28 but representation will be limited to the employment authorization application.

State Legislative Research Project

Seeking law firms and in-house legal teams to research state-level legislation that has been drafted or proposed during the last full legislative session in each state, whether passed or not, and answering a number of questions about it so that the approach of different states regarding different topics can be compared and synthesized by organizations that are part of Lawyers for Good Government’s coalition-based model of impact work. Each participating attorney will be assigned to one issue area (e.g., voting rights, police misconduct, education, etc.) in one state.
